Remembering Miguel Ferrer
 |
He played Robert Morton in Robocop and was kneecapped then blown up in a coke frenzied party with hookers after a major promotion at work by Clarence Bodiger who was working for his boss ...
Though the character went down hard, had issues of his own, and ultimately saw vindication by his own cyborg creation, Alex Murphy that character both shocked me at the beginning and stuck with me over time.
Over the years Mr Ferrer played various characters with that same believable projection he gave to Robert Morton. I just watched several episodes of him portraying Dr Garret Macy in Crossing Jordan on the reruns of HD broadcast teevee.
He was frequenly to be seen on various television serials, films, and shorts ... even music videos.
He did voice acting for the animation and first person shooter games like Halo.
On January 19, 2017 he passed at his Santa Monica home from throat cancer at the age of 61 and is interred in San Juan Puerto Rico next to his father, actor Jose Ferrer.
His is a vast wealth of performances in a lot of different areas.
Rest in peace.
